Little Anthony & The Imperials are no strangers to hits. The originators of one of rock & roll’s all-time greatest hits, "Tears On My Pillow," the group has also been responsible for such other unforgettable chart songs as "Goin’ Out Of My Head," "Hurt So Bad," "Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop" , "I’m On The Outside Looking In" and "Take Me Back." Little Anthony & The Imperials, originally a product of Brooklyn Boys’ High School and discovered by disc jockey legend Alan Freed in 1958, have sold in excess of 15 million records over the years.

Lou Christie’s chart-topping, multi-million selling career as a songwriter, recording artist, and performer started in a two-track studio in Glenwillard, Pennsylvania; his rural hometown near Pittsburgh. Lou’s first million selling song, "The Gypsy Cried," transformed a local choirboy, Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco, into Lou Christie - national teen idol, while still a teenager himself. Over the entire decade of the 1960’s Lou followed success with great success.
